UMPIRES RENDER
OPINIONS US TO
JOHNJVEBS
Chicago, Nov. —a Chicago
baseball writer asked the um
pires of the National league
how they enjoyed the idea of John
ny Evers managing the Cubs. Here
are the replies:
CLARENCE OWEN—I am com
paratively new to the league, so I
don’t like to talk much. All I will
say is, Oh, Lord!
WILLIAM BRENNAN—I reach
ed a point this year where I ceased
to pay heed to anything Mr. Evers
said. He evidently realized this, for
he finally quit talking to me and at
tracted my attention by dropping
gravel down the back-of my neck.
I will stretefi a point and only draw
the line at concrete building blocks.
WILLIAM KLEM—It has been
my practice to can Evers for call
ing me Bill, which shows a lack of
respect. I will allow him to call me
Bill next year, but he must cease
his alleged comical mimicry of my
..gestures,
AL. ORTH —He is the president
of our concern and I will leave the
handling of Mr. Evers to Mr. Klein.
JACK FINNERAN—I never con
sidered Mr. Evers any worse than
Mr. Zimmerman or Mr. Tinker.
CY. RIGLER —I can whip any
man in the National league. I pre
fer them big. but I won't let any
manager’s littleness interfere.
MAL. EASON—I don’t think Ev
ers’ promotion will increase his vo
cabulary. and 1 consider mine equal
to his.
JIM JOHNSTONE —1 see no ob
ject in discussing Evers. I expect
him to spend most of the summer
in 'the grandstand.
JACK WESTERVELT—The
American league is bad enough for
me.
ALABAMA-MISSISSIPPI
GAME MOVED UP A DAY
BIRMINGHAM. ALA., Nov. 7.—The
game between Alabama and Missis
sippi, which was to have been played
Saturday at Tuscaloosa, has been
moved up a day, and will be played Fri
day. This will enable many persons to
attend the game who would otherwise
be prevented by a heavy rush of Sat
urday business.
Birminghamers may attend the game
without inconveniencing themselves,
leaving Birmingham! on the “Pan" at
10:20 a. m. Friday and returning that
night.
The struggle between Mississippi and
Alabama should be one of the most
evenly fought games of the season, and
Is certain to draw a large crowd. "Ole
Miss” played a great game with its four
star players ruled out, and with their
reinstatement Alabama may look tor a
hard struggle.
CUBS AND PIRATES KEEN
TO.LAND BRESNAHAN
CHICAGO. Nov. 7.—Roger Bresna
han, who has been unconditionally re
leased by the St. Louis National league
club, will not be allowed to go to the
American league. President Murphy,
of the Cubs, has put in a formal claim
for Bresnahan's services under the
usual ten days’ option. Murphy’s claim
has been tiled in President Lynch's of
fice. together with another by Barney
Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburg club. Mur
phy’s claim has been made at the sug
gestion of Johnny Evers, the new man
ager of the Cubs, who thinks that Bres
nahan will strengthen the Chicago
team behind the bat. Both Murphy
and Drey fuss must be willing to as
sume Bresnahan’s contract, calling for
SIO,OOO a year.

Fighters Fail, But Johnson's
Conduct Gives Him Black Eye
By W. W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.
“That's not sporting news; it’s
police news." So claimed a
copy reader on the sporting desk of
a prominent paper once, when told
by his city editor to handle a story
having to do with the shooting of
one race track man by another.
And he was right. When a sport
ing man, or a man from any other
walk in life, becomes entangled in
the meshes of the law. he is meat
for the reporter who keeps the pub
lic informed in regard to crime and
its causes.
So much has been written about
Jack Johnson and his lapses of late
that to add a jot of criticism to
the things that are being said
would savor of turning the hose on
a drowned rodent. But there is a
sporting angle to the Johnson case
and it invites discussion.
It seems to the writer that John
son has been eliminated as thor
oughly from the pugilistic outlook
as though he had been signally de
feated by some rival heavyweight.
Even the regret that ho one has
been found capable of beating him
is expressed no more. The disgust
at his alleged misconduct is such
that no one wants to think about
him in any connection.
The last straw came when Hugh
Mclntosh, of Australia, cabled his
agent to call off negotiations with
Johnson at once. The action was so
spontaneous that one can readily
imagine how quickly feeling against
the big negro was aroused in Aus
tralia when news of his latest es
capade reached there.
Lost $50,000 in Australia.
If the deal with Mclntosh had
gone through, Johnson would have
received fifty thousand dollars, so
that it ,may be considered he has
been fined that amount already.
And that in itself Is pretty severe
punishment.
Os course, there will be no John
son-Langford fight now, so far as
Australia is concerned, and there is
equally small chance of the pair
meeting in this country or England.
The writer is inclined to think,
however, that the tightening of the
coils around Johnson, so far as the
7TH SON OF A 7TH SON
IS JINXED AT HARVARD
BOSTON, Nov. 7.—Hunter McGuire,
a wealthy Harvard athlete, can not be
convinced that it is lucky to be the
seventh son of a seven!h son. It hap
pens that he is the seventh son of a
seventh s6n, but a string of unfortu
nate accidents, which will prevent him
from winning this year his coveted
football “H.” shatters, In his mind, the
idea that it is lucky to be one.
Last year McGuire was on the Har
vard varsity football squad. He haa
good weight, 230 pounds, and was
trained as an understudy to Captain
Bob Fisher of last year’s team. He
progressed rapidly under the tutelage
of Coach Percy Haughton. But in the
Carlisle game, two weeks before the
big battle with Yale, in which the play,
ers have a chance to make their letter,
he was injured, a bad hip keeping him
out of the game for the remainder of
the season.
This year the undaunted seventh son
of a seventh son entered into the fray
again, and he was the logical man for
guard’s position in the line when he
was injured in a practice session on
Soldiers field. A sprained ankle result
ed and McGuire will be kept out of the
game for this year.
Next year will be his senior year at
Harvard and he will have one more
chance to combat with fate in his en
deavor to win the big, red football "H.”
WOLVERTON IS FIRED:
NO SUCCESSOR NAMED
NEW YORK, Nov 7.—President
Frank Farrell, of the New York Ameri
can league club, announced last night
that Harry Wilverton would not be re
tained to manage the club next sea
son.
Wolverton’s contract was only for
one year.
No announcement was made as to
Wolverton's successor.
rilE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1912.
boxing outlook is concerned, is not
bothering Jack. Recent revelations
concerning his private life have a
suspicion that Johnson has had no
serious thought of re-entering the
ring, and that he would like nothing
better than to continue in his pres
ent environment.
The exposure made may make
Johnson feel like leaving this coun
try for a while —that is, if he con
tinues a free man—and, such being
the case, he might entertain one of
the offers placed before him some
time ago by the Paris promoters.
There is a possibility, of course,
that even Paris may withdraw its
invitation to Johnson to appear in a
French ring, and if this is done the
champion will be as completely
'•orralled, pugllistlcally, as a steer
in a pen, for the chain of disbar-
■ ment will reach around the world.
Even with matters as they are,
there Is a good chance for the
white heavies to engross public at
tention if they have sense enough
to rise to the occasion.
White hopes have bloomed and
white hopes have faded, but we still
have with us Al Palzer, Jim Flynn
and Luther McCarthy, and a three
cornered fistic., argument among
these, having for its purpose the
settlement of the question of su
premacy, should keep the fires of
interest burning briskly for a year,
at least.
Palzer and Manager Make Up.
So far nary a one of the hopes
seems to be displaying undue im
patience to get at one of the oth
ers. It can be claimed in Palzer's
case, of course, that the big lowan
was held back by the deadlock with
Tom O’Rourke, but now that ami
cable relations have been re-estab
lished. Palzer should be heard from.
Just what Jim Flynn's little game
is is not clear. A few months ago
he complained bitterly that he could
not get a chance to show how good
he was. Now he flits from place to
place, and. when questioned about
his ring plans, is wonderfully non
committal —-for Flynn.
Even Luther McCarthy—or Lu
ther McCarthy’s manager, which is
the same thing—accuses the fire
man of being attacked with chilled
extremities whenever a Flynn-Mc-
Carthy match is suggested.

PARIS DOES NOT
WANT PAPKE
AGAIN
By \V. W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov.
7. —After Billy Papke defeated
Georges' Carpentier in Paris,
the sports of this country expect
ed that the middleweight who used
to be known as the Illinois Thun
derbolt would be in demand among
the French promoters, and that
probably Eddie McGoorty would
be sent for to give Papke battle.
The cable brings the news that
the matchmakers of Paris have no
desire to handle Papke again, and
that in all probability Frank Klaus
and McGoorty will be signed for a
go in the French capital.
There are several versions in re
gard to Papke's unpopularity. One
is that the French promoters have
decided to recognize the New York
commission’s disbarment of the
Thunderbolt, and keep him out of
the ring until the ban is removed in
New York.
When requested to take such ac
tion at the time Papke refused to
box Frank Mantell in New York,
the. promoters across the pond ex
cused themselves from doing so on
the score that the Papke-Carpen
tier match had been extensively ad
vertised, and that to’forbid it at
that late hour would entail loss
upon the promoters.
Another story Is to the effect that
the disinclination to have anything
further to do with Papke is due to
the fact that he smashed the Pari
sian idol, Georges Carpentier, and
that the matchmakers feel it would
be an unpopular move to put Papke
in tbfe ring again. In all probabil
ity this version is unreliable. The
French have shown themselves to
be imbued with sportsmanlike feel
ing, and would, scarcely prove so
small-minded as this story infers.
PLAYERS DEMAND PAY
FOR TRAINING SEASON
The major league magnates will soon
face a new source of expense in the
spring. The new Players Protective as
sociation plans to demand remunera
tion for its members while getting into
shape for the season. The contracts
signed by the men heretofore have
called for pay days only after the sea
son begins in April, while the players
have been engaged in strenuous work
in many instances since February. Os
course, legitimate expenses are taken
care of by the clubs. Still the men feel
they are entitled to consideration for
the six weeks or two months they are
getting into shape at the training
camps.
It is believed that S2OO per month
will be asked as the proper amount to
recompense the men for their early
spring labors, although this feature will
be settled at a conference to be held
later.
“Broadway Jones," a thrilling
story of ‘' The Great White Way, ’ ’
based on George M. Cohan’s play
now running in New York, will
begin in Friday’s Georgian. It is
well worth reading.
Playing Managers Should Be
Compelled to Work in Games
By Sam Crane.
NOW, as the time approaches
for certain club owners to
engage new managers, it
will be well for the owners to see
that the contracts call for the
manager to play a stated number
of games, provided, of course, that
the manager is not incapacitated
from playing on account of in
juries.
According to reports, one reason
why Roger Bresnahan was deposed
from the managership of the St.
Louis Cardinals was for the reason
that he failed to be in the Cards'
line-up as often as he could and
should have been. Thereby Roger
failed to bring the club up as high
in the race as he would have done
had he been behind the bat oftener
when he was in condition to play.
In my opinion, the St. Louis
club's owner. Mqs. Britton, had
more or less reason for her com
plaint, but hardly enough to Justify
her in taking the severe methods
she did. But, doubtless, she thought
she had other causes for complaint
which she and her advisers con
sidered sufficient to warrant the
important and possibly serious
change.
Team Needed His Services.
During the past season I felt
called upon to criticise Manager
Bresnahan for not catching as oft
en as he should have done. He had
a team to which his services as
an active participant in every game
were invaluable. And it was when
Roger was behind the bat In every
game for long periods that the
Cardinals made the most phenome
nal winning spurts, and the club
made the most money It ever did.
There is no, doubt that Roger
was Injured many times and was
obliged to lay off in a number of
games when it was utterly impos-
S OLD SORE
BUT NOT WITH SALVES
Every old sore can be cured unless it be of a malignant cancerous nature.
But no chronic ulcer can be cured by the application of salves or other ex
ternal treatment. You must get down to the origin and cause before you
can produce curative effects. Bad blood is responsible for old sores and the
one certain cure therefore is a thorough purification and upbuilding of the
circulation. As long as impurities are left in the blood they will be depos
ited into the ulcer to keep up the inflammation and irritation and nature
can make no progress toward healing the place. Noth

sible for him to play, and at those
times he was on the field coaching
his players and doing his level best
to help them to win; but Roger on
the bench and along the coaching
lines and Roger behind the bat
were altogether different proposi
tions. No team ever missed a man
ager’s electric personality and en
couragement as did the Cardinals
their energetic and fighting leader.
Some players, from the earlier
days of baseball to the present,
who have been promoted to man
agers, have at times appeared to
take undue advantage of their au
thority and taken things too easy
for the good of their clubs and
teams. They have dearly loved to
be the" boss. They may not have
had it in their mind to be disloyal
to their employers and would
fiercely resent any implication that
fhey were not working for the best
interests pf their club, but the love
of command and to’do as one saw
fit often was the means of the
player-managers "resting" more
than they would have if they were
in the ranks.
Consequently, it will be no more
than ‘just that the owhers of the
clubs bind their new managers
down to contracts that will assure
their presence in every game un
less accidents make It an Impossi
bility.
It will be no reflection on the
new managers' honesty or loyalty
to demand it, and might save much
trouble later on. I do not think
that Roger Bresnahan would ob
ject to such a contract if he signs
with the Brooklyn club, as I hope
he does.
